The Art of Holy War: SSTEDI's 'Jericho' Speaks to Giving Your Beef to God

Let the Almighty Handle Your Haters

This contemporary gospel gem transforms the ancient tale of Jericho into a soulful meditation on holy protection.

What charms here is the refreshing honesty - Sstedi admits to those moments of misplaced self-reliance before circling back to faith, like someone finally confessing they've been pretending to know how to swim. It's vulnerability with a wink.

The clever inversion of conflict ("Your beef's with Him") offers spiritual comfort without the saccharine aftertaste, while images of circling walls and emerging from fire "as pure as gold" create a visual richness that lingers.

"Jericho" succeeds by exploring faith's delightful paradox – finding strength in surrender.

For those of us facing our own imposing walls, it whispers a truth reflected in Joshua 6:20: "When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed."

Sometimes our victories come not through force, but through faithful persistence.

Listen now; thank me later :)
